BARNETT BANKS INC. said Wednesday it plans to complete its previously announced acquisition and merger with First Florida Inc. on Monday. Barnett, based in Jacksonville, plans to convert all First Florida offices by March 1993, bank officials said. Barnett and First Florida have a combined total of more than 100 offices in Central Florida. Plans call for half a dozen of those to be closed in the merger.
